years Malden has been fi rst in
a lot of events and accomplishments.
Once again for 2026, it
has been announced that Malden
High School has taken the
top spot in a unique category.
Malden High is one of the top
public high schools in Massachusetts
for a lot of reasons and
for well over a decade has been
ranked the #1 Most Diverse Public
High School in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. NICHE
School Rankings â€” which uses
a wide range of methodology
and analysis â€” has once again
bestowed that honor on Malden
High School for this school year
as well. The diversity is measured
in the sheer numbers of ethnic
cultures represented and languages
spoken â€” at last count,
over 70 â€” by MHS students or
in studentsâ€™ homes.
For 2026, not only is Malden
High the #1 Most Diverse Public
High School in Mass., out of
391 total high schools evaluated,
Malden High is also the #57
Most Diverse Public High School
IN THE NATION! That includes
22,747 public high schools from
coast-to-coast.

Rep. Lipper-Garabedian defends ICE contract,
says â€œimmigrant communities want itâ€�
Special to The Advocate
U
nder pressure weeks after she
voted for a carve out to maintain
the stateâ€™s contract with the
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) agency, State Representative
Kate Lipper-Garabedian,
a candidate for state senator,
defended Massachusettsâ€™ 287(g)
agreement at a recent candidates
forum. She insisted that immigrants
and Black and Brown leaders
want the state to boost the
federal governmentâ€™s immigration
efforts. â€œIt was described to
us how immigrant communities
wanted us to retain the contract
with ICE,â€� claimed Rep. Lipper-Garabedian.
â€œWe heard from immigrants
stating that they wanted
it to remain.â€�
Malden Councillor-at-Large Carey
McDonald â€” also a candidate
for state senator â€” pushed back
on that claim. â€œIâ€™m a Person of Color
who represents an immigrant
community. I have never heard
any immigrant say they would
prefer the state have a contract
with ICE. Iâ€™ve never heard that.â€�
â€œWe need to end the stateâ€™s contract
with ICE. [The fact that] Massachusetts
is the only blue state
with an ICE contract boggles my
mindâ€¦I have supported our immigrant
community behind the
scenes and in public. Itâ€™s important
our immigrant leaders know
Candidate
Carey McDonald
Malden Councillor-at-Large
who they can call; thatâ€™s the relationship
Iâ€™ve built as a City Councillor
and that I would continue as
a State Senator.â€�
McDonald, who is a nonprofit
executive, has sued the Trump Administration
over ICE activity and
volunteers with immigrant-led
organizations. McDonald spoke
about witnessing deportations
and the resulting devastation
for families left behind. â€œThere is
no one who will fight harder to
make sure that we are doing every
single thing we can to protect
our people.â€�
At issue is a voluntary information-sharing
and collaboration
contract â€” known as a 287(g)
agreement. Massachusettsâ€™ agreement
has been in place since 2009
and has been used to deport
thousands of Bay State residents.
Under a 287(g) agreement, â€œstate
and local law enforcement agenKate
Lipper-Garabedian
State Representative
cies and ICE work together to deport
removable aliens,â€� according
to ice.gov. Massachusetts is
the only Democratically run state
in the country that continues to
have a contract with ICE â€” using
state resources for immigration
enforcement. While the state recently
changed the law to prohibit
any new 287(g) agreements, the
current contract was left in place.
Responses to the Trump Administration
are not the only difference
between the candidates.
McDonald has called for the legislature
to implement the audit
supported by 72% of voters on
the 2024 ballot; Lipper-Garabedian
has voted to limit the audit
to only records that the Legislature
chooses to hand over. Affordability
has proven to be another
hot topic, with Lipper-Garabedian
defending a vote to cut $1 billion
from Mass Save, the energy
efficiency program that helps residents
reduce their energy costs.
McDonald led the creation of a local
energy program that lowered
electricity rates and increased
clean energy at the same time.
The forum was held for the candidates
running for the 5th Middlesex
Senate District, which consists
of Malden, Melrose, Reading,
Stoneham, Wakefield and part of
Winchester. The seat is open due
to the retirement of State Senator
Jason Lewis. The forum was hosted
by the Greater Malden Asian
American Community Coalition,
the Chinese Progressive Association,
Massachusetts Senior Action
Network, Asian Community
Development Corporation and
Asian Pacific Islanders Civic Action
Network.
The Democratic primary election
is on September 1, with mailin
voting underway in all communities.

ALMOST A BILLIONAIRE! Powerball player misses $1.04B
jackpot by just one number at Robinson News in Malden
Malden ticketholder was the ONLY â€˜Match 5â€™ $2M winner in the nation; four $1M winners in U.S.

W
ho wants to be a billionaire?
A Powerball player in Malden
missed achieving just that
by only one number on Wednesday,
August 12! On Aug. 12, the
8th biggest Powerball jackpot in
history â€” for $1.04 billion â€” was
up for grabs. The winning combination
of 4, 26, 66, 67, 69 with a
red Powerball of 9 was picked by
the as-yet-unidentifi ed winner at
the Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh gas station
in Quincy, Illinois.
Locally, a Malden lottery player
was just the red Powerball away
from being a billionaire! The winner
was one of only FIVE players
in the United States to pick
the correct fi rst fi ve white-ball
numbers â€” 4-26-66-67-69 â€”
but just missed on the Powerball
red number. The â€œMatch 5â€�
winner receives $1 million, but
(Courtesy photos)
since the Malden winner also
purchased the Power Play option,
their $1 million prize was
doubled to $2 million.
That person was the only
Powerball picker in the United
States to win a $2 million prize
in Wednesdayâ€™s Powerball drawing,
elevating their ticket into the
top 10 highest state Powerball
winnings ever recorded. Only
four other Powerball players in
the entire nation also selected
the fi rst fi ve white-ball numbers

Demographically, here is how
Malden High School diversity
is reflected, culturally: A total
of 31.8% of its 6,500+ students
are of Hispanic/Latino heritage;
22.1% are of Asian backgrounds;
21.3% are Black or African
American; and 21.4% are
Caucasian/ Non-Hispanic. Of
the last category, a strong percentage
of those students are
of Arabic descent, adding even
a stronger degree of diversity.
Of the majority Hispanic/
Latino culture at Malden High

claim Brazilian heritage, which
is often considered an individual
group not of the Hispanic/
Latino designation. That is why
the primary language spoken

overall is Portuguese, versions
of which are the primary language
spoken by Brazilians.

Senator Lewis and Mass. Senate vote to increase legislative transparency
O
n July 30, 2026, State Senator
Jason Lewis joined his
colleagues in the Massachusetts
Senate to pass (34-6) legislation
that increases residentsâ€™
access to information about how
decisions are made inside the
state legislature and the governorâ€™s
office, along with critical
free press protections that allow
journalists to protect their sources.
An Act promoting transparency
and public access in state
government mandates writing
into the state public records
law that the public has a right to
know about key legislative records,
such as vote tallies, salaries
of elected officials and staff,
ethics disclosures, operating expenditures,
and contracts. It also
opens up access to records created
by the Office of the Governor.
The transparency measure
has earned the support of several
groups who advocate for
July 31, 2026, the Legislature appointed
a conference committee
to resolve the two bill versions.
The bill will then be sent to the
Governor for her signature and/
or other actions.
â€œBuilding greater trust and
Jason Lewis
State Senator
greater access to government
and the promotion of democracy,
including the Massachusetts
Newspaper Publishers Association,
Common Cause Massachusetts
and ACLU of Massachusetts.
In
June 2026 the Massachusetts
House had passed (12528)
its own version of the bill. On
confidence in government by
improving legislative transparency
and accountability is critical
for a healthy democracy,â€�
said Senator Lewis. â€œI have long
championed efforts to improve
the transparency of state and local
government, including being
the lead Senate sponsor of the
last major update to the stateâ€™s
public records law. This legislation
will further open up the
legislative process and make it
easier for the public to see how
we operate and to hold us accountable.â€�
Building
on the legislationâ€™s
support for freedom of information,
the Senate voted unaniSen.
Lewis and Mass. Senate pass bill
to better protect healthcare workers from assault
O
n July 16, 2026, Senator Jason
Lewis joined his colleagues
in the Massachusetts
Senate to support the safety of
frontline healthcare workers by
improving security protocols at
hospitals and other healthcare
facilities across the Commonwealth.
Hospital staff are regularly
subjected to verbal threats
and physical abuse â€” with nearly
70% of nurses reporting having
experienced an assault in the
workplace in Massachusetts. Responding
to this troubling rate
of violent incidents, the Senate
passed this legislation to require
reviews of security protocols and
potential risks at healthcare facilities
each year. After passing
in the Senate, the bill will now
be reconciled with a similar version
that was previously passed
by the House of Representatives
before the bill is sent to Governor
Maura Healey for her signature.
The Senateâ€™s bill also helps law
enforcement make timely arrests
for assaults at healthcare
facilities, extends new supports
to healthcare workers who are
assaulted on the job and shields
victimsâ€™ personal information
from assailants. It allows law enforcement
officers to make timely,
warrantless arrests for assault
or battery on a healthcare worker,
similar to existing policy that
allows for timely arrests in domestic
violence cases. In addition,
to support healthcare workers
who are assaulted, the bill requires
employers to offer paid
leave that covers an employeeâ€™s
time seeking medical treatment
and aiding in the prosecution of
their attacker. The bill mandates
shielding the victimâ€™s personal,
residential address on criminal
complaints.
â€œHealthcare professionals work
tirelessly to support our families
and communities through thick
and thinâ€”they shouldnâ€™t need
to come to work every day worried
about being assaulted,â€� said
Senator Lewis. â€œThis legislation
prepares hospitals to be ready
to respond to violent incidents
and helps support victims of assault
in the aftermath.â€�
On the same day, the Senate
also passed legislation to
bring oversight to the stateâ€™s unregulated
home care industry
through legislation that would
create a licensure structure, including
fingerprinting and background
checks, for home care
workers that assist elders with
basic care like cooking, dressing
and bathing. This bill will be
reconciled with a similar version
that was previously passed by
the House of Representatives before
it is sent to Governor Healey.
mously to adopt an amendment
guaranteeing legal protections
for journalists by allowing them
to protect the anonymity of
their sources, as members of the
press face increased attack from
bad actors at the federal level.
The bill outlines a new process
for people to request legislative
records, including the assurance
of an impartial appeals process.
A designated staff member in
the Senate or House of Representatives
would be required
to answer all requests within 10
days and share any responsive
records. Requestors could appeal
any denied requests to the
Superior Court, independent
of the legislative or executive
branches of government. Similarly,
people requesting records
from the governorâ€™s office could
appeal a decision to the Secretary
of the Commonwealth, then
to the Superior Court.
Throughout this legislative
session, the Massachusetts Senate
has worked to increase government
accountability and
transparency. The Senate has
championed rules reforms that
resulted in publicly posted committee
votes and longer periods
of public review before large bills
are voted upon.

2026 Mac Singleton Senior Basketball League Week 2
By Peter Levine
I
t is said in Malden Musings...
â€¢ Week 2 of the 2026 Mac
Singleton Senior League regular
season is in the books where
games were taken indoors and
played at the Forestdale School
due to inclement weather. As
well as a run league as Iâ€™ve seen
in my many years in Malden
both Dana (Brown) and I were
impressed both with the quality
of play and competitiveness
of the youngsters.
â€¢ Gobsmacked I was as I
walked into that beautiful educational
institution on Sylvan.
So much so that I had to contact
longtime friend and Principal at
the Forestdale â€” Adam Weldai
â€” to let him know what a fi ne
job he is doing at this grand old
place of learning; spotless with
fl ags of the world adorning the
lobby as well as a large painting
of Martin Luther King to both
inspire and educate the next
generation. Good job, Adam!
â€¢ And of course, a wonderfully
thoughtful text received back
from Mr. Weldai: â€œThank you, Peter!
We have such a great school
community. Donâ€™t tell him Iâ€™m
using the Malden Musings nickname,
but we are very lucky to
have the best facilities team
in the city, led by Dave â€œBucketsâ€�
Bouley - heâ€™s truly the best.
Mac Singleton in his Boston
University football coaching days.
Our TEAM is the best. Dave, (Joanne
Settemioâ€™s husband) Henry
Figueroa, and Jovan Walcott
who just joined us from Malden
High this week. We couldnâ€™t be
luckier!â€�
â€¢ Grandson Christianâ€™s squad
took another one on the chin,
but CJ Falz once again made
his presence known, snatching
a couple of boards seemingly
out of the rafters and with that
long wingspan of his also making
it uncomfortable for opposing
players to get their shots off .
If he continues to work hard
this summer, he is sure to make
Coach Thad Broughtonâ€™s varsity
squad in October.
â€¢ His opponent this night was
the Dynasty Club coached by
the â€œmost active voice in show
business,â€� James Hyppolite.
James should have received
the â€œ6th Player Awardâ€� after
the game because he certainly
made his presence felt (on
the court and off ). Roaming the
sidelines for 40 nonstop minutes
like a possessed demon â€”
I havenâ€™t seen that much intensity
on the bench since Johnny
Most made Tommy Heinsohn
famous as Celtâ€™s coach back
in the â€™70â€™s. Congrats, James,
on a well-played game. I mean
coached. Insert smiley face.
â€¢ James has some â€œplayas!â€� I
didnâ€™t get all their names, but
I will for a future column. Two
that impressed were the Turner
brothers Kevin and Cole, who
channeled the best of their familiesâ€™
athletic skills (mom is Julie
Wilcox and their pops Kevin)
and were two Tasmanian Devils
out on the court. Uncles Edward
and Johnny would have
been mighty proud of the way
they played.
â€¢ Number 11 had Dana and I
shaking our heads in disbelief
as he got off one 12-foot fl oater
after another for easy hoops
Ã  la Phil Chenier for the Washington
Bullets in the mid-1970s
â€” a cool and calculated, pure
shooter as weâ€™ve ever seen at
that age.
â€¢ I asked Rec Director Joe
Levine if any of the kiddos participating
knew who Mac Singleton
was. He shook his head
sadly and said, â€œNot many.â€� If any
of you youngsters are reading
this, please do yourself a favor
and Google Mac (James, this
means you also!). You will be
amazed at his life.
â€¢ These were Joeâ€™s feelings
shortly after Mac passed in
2017: â€œMac was one of a kind
and one of the nicest individuals
and best coaches I have
ever met.â€� Joe had known Mac
for more than 40 years and had
worked with him in local youth
programs for several years. â€œHe
just had a knack when dealing
with people to bring out the
best in them. We lost a great
one...â€�

â€¢ A (very) brief primer on the
life and times of a real Malden
icon, Mac Singleton: Originally
from Everett (we loved him anyway
â€” insert smiley face), Mac
was a charter member of the
MHS Sports Hall of Fame, a football
and baseball standout at
Western State College in Colorado,
was drafted as an outfi elder
by the Chicago White Sox,
was a Spring Training coach for
the Los Angeles Dodgers, had a
tryout with the then Boston Patriots
before pursuing a career
in teaching and coaching and
was my Phys Ed teacher at Beebe
Junior High as a 7th grader.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATEâ€“Friday, August 21, 2026
Sen. Lewis and Mass. Senate pass major economic development legislation
S
enator Jason Lewis joined his
colleagues in the Massachusetts
Senate to pass an economic
development package that lifts
up small businesses and burgeoning
industries, surges the production
of new housing units through
automatic two-family zoning and
reins in potential dangers of artificial
intelligence (AI) by instituting
responsible guardrails against
catastrophes. The bill also creates
safety rules for fast electric scooters
and e-bikes, bans predatory kiosks
used in cryptocurrency scams
and invests $100 million in immediate
support for scientific research
programs at public higher
education institutions. With $575
million in total spending authorizations,
the economic development
bill is poised to grow quality
jobs in the Commonwealth,
support innovation and improve
the quality of life for workers and
families.
â€œThe state legislature is committed
to fostering new economic development
in Massachusetts to
create new business and job opportunities
and to strengthen our
communities,â€� said Senator Lewis.
â€œThis legislation will make Massachusetts
even more competitive
and attractive to both businesses
and workers.â€�
The bill will now be reconciled
with a different version that was
previously passed by the House
of Representatives. It will then be
sent to Governor Maura Healey for
her signature and/or other actions.
Highlights of the legislation:
â€¢ Investing $100 million (M) for
public higher education institutions
to help maintain the pace of
scientific research and discovery
and retain talented graduate and
post-doctorate workers in the face
of federal research funding cuts
â€¢ Requiring major AI developers
to account for their AI modelsâ€™ risk
of critical safety incidents by setting
frameworks to avoid potential
catastrophes with oversight
from the Attorney Generalâ€™s Office
â€¢ Generating new housing units
by allowing two-family homes on
all residentially zoned lots, subject
to reasonable local limitations
â€¢ Creating an easier process for
converting commercial properties
into residential units and requiring
timely review processes for housing
construction projects
â€¢ Supporting the development
and construction of permanently
affordable homeownership units
by authorizing up to $2.5M for a
pilot program to fund the creation
of units for low- and moderate-income
households, including units
within mixed-use developments
â€¢ Implementing new safety
standards for e-bikes and electric
scooters, including regulations for
safety equipment and after-market
modifications, age and speed
restrictions and a ban on mopeds
and similar devices from bike lanes
and shared-use paths
â€¢ Authorizing up to $20M to support
community development financial
institutions (CDFIs) and
small businesses
â€¢ Authorizing up to $25M to support
downtown and main street
vitality in Massachusetts towns
and cities, in addition to $2.5M to
help convert vacant storefronts
into pop-up opportunities for new
small businesses
â€¢ Authorizing up to $25M to support
arts, culture and the creative
economy
â€¢ Authorizing up to $25M for research
and development of robotics
technology
â€¢ Implementing a 110% cap on
ticket prices on resale platforms
to prevent scalping; a new grant
program to boost the cultural and
economic vitality of downtown,
cultural and nightlife districts; and
a study to explore the feasibility of
hosting a future international soccer
tournament following the success
of the FIFA World Cup
â€¢ Banning cryptocurrency ATMs
that are often used by scammers
â€¢ Criminalizing the creation, possession
or sharing of AI-generated
child sexual abuse material
â€¢ Prohibiting the possession, operation,
manufacture or sale of robots
that are equipped with weapons,
including firearms, chemical
agents, weaponized lasers and
explosives, and banning the use
of robots to criminally harass or
physically restrain another person
â€¢ Raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction
to include 18 year olds for
certain crimes â€” an initiative that
has proven to decrease crime, increase
public safety and improve
economic outcomes
â€¢ Allowing cities and towns to
provide enhanced tax relief in the
form of a rebate to lower- and middle-income
taxpayers who already
receive the residential tax exemption,
by shifting more of the residential
tax burden onto vacation
homes and investment properties
â€¢ Establishing a fund to capitalize
on public-private partnerships to
lift families and communities out
of poverty with support for community
organizations that boost
areas such as early education and
care, affordable housing, public
safety and civic infrastructure
Senator Lewis advocated for
successful amendments to authorize
potential state bond funding
that could be used for improvements
to the Middlesex Fells Reservation
and Zoo New England
(the Stone Zoo in Stoneham and
Franklin Park Zoo). Senator Lewis
also championed a critical update
to the stateâ€™s Chapter 62F tax
refund law to ensure the formula
takes into account all sources of
personal income growth instead
of only tracking the growth in salaries
and wages, which now account
for just over half of personal
income in Massachusetts.

eamwork, curiosity and plenty
of hands-on learning was
on full display as the Middlesex
Sheriffâ€™s Office (MSO) hosted
the fifth and final week of its
2026 Youth Public Safety Academy
(YPSA)! Between August 3-7,
over 100 cadets from Middlesex
County had the opportunity to
learn, meet new friends and step
into the shoes of public safety
professionals. Through experiences
that challenged them to
think critically and work together,
they tackled activities educating
them about law enforcement,
fire safety, emergency preparedness
and more! The cadets
also got to see the MSO K9s in
action, participate in interactive
team activities and learn about
other topics from local presenters,
including hydration with the
Lowell Health Department, pedestrian
safety with the Massachusetts
Department of Transportation,
gas safety with Eversource,
pollination with the Massachusetts
Horticulture Society,
and CPR and first aid from Armstrong
Ambulance.
â€œEvery week, itâ€™s incredible to
watch these young people step
outside their comfort zones, support
one another and discover
all they are capable of,â€� said Middlesex
Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian.
â€œYPSA is about more than learning
about public safety. Itâ€™s about
building confidence, developing
leadership skills and creating
memories they will carry
with them long after camp ends.â€�
The academyâ€™s success is made
possible by a dedicated team of
counselors, staff and community
partners whose goal is to create
a safe, engaging and memorable
experience for every cadet. â€œOur
staff and partners are the heart
of this program. They show up
every day with energy, patience
and a genuine commitment to
these children,â€� said YPSA Director
Meghan Lee. â€œWhether they
are leading an activity, encouraging
someone through a challenge,
or simply making a cadet
smile, I know they are leaving a
lasting impact.â€�
Each week of YPSA ends with
a graduation ceremony to recognize
cadets for their efforts
as they are cheered on by their
loved ones, public safety leaders
and elected officials from their
communities. This week, graduates
were joined by State Representative
Paul Donato, Governorâ€™s
Councillor Mara Dolan, Arlington
Chief of Police Juliann
Flaherty, Burlington Police Captain
Tom Carlson, Malden Mayor
Gary Christenson, Malden Chief
of Police Marc Gatcomb, Medford
Chief of Police Jack Buckley
and Medford Police Captain
Paul Covino.
YPSA is comprised of five oneweek
sessions and is open to individuals
ages eight to 12 living
in any city or town in Middlesex
County. Children ages 13-15
may also participate as Counselors-In-Training
(CITs).

THE MALDEN ADVOCATEâ€“Friday, August 21, 2026
Orange Line Will Be Suspended Between Oak Grove and Back Bay for 11 Days, August 20 â€“ 30
This notice serves as a reminder of the upcoming Orange Line closure previously announced on July 15.
B
OSTON â€“ The MBTA is reminding
riders that Orange Line service
will be suspended between
Oak Grove and Back Bay for 11
consecutive days, August 20 â€“ 30.
More about the Work
During this service suspension,
the MBTA will perform essential
track and signal upgrades on the
Orange Line. This regular, planned
renewal and revitalization work
is ongoing and continuous, ensuring
the long-term stability of
our infrastructure and preserving
the system for future generations
of riders.
Between Tufts Medical Center
and Haymarket, the MBTAâ€™s Maintenance
of Way team will replace
Orange Line cologne egg rail fasteners,
rail, restraining rail, plates,
third rail, and insulators. Between
Haymarket and the Assembly
truck pad, work crews will perform
essential track revitalization work,
including the replacement of ties,
rail, and plates and tamping work.
Last year, the MBTA increased
speeds on the Orange Line between
Oak Grove and Assembly to
55 MPH for the first time ever â€“
the track work being completed
during this service change is also
a major step toward expanding
these faster speeds with Orange
Line trains soon travelling 55 MPH
between Community College and
Assembly following some additional
enabling work.
The signal upgrades taking
place during this service change
are focused on signal rack relocations,
which will take place at Wellington,
North Station, and Community
College. During this meticulous
process, signal equipment
racks installed in a temporary location
are moved to their permanent
location within a signal house. Final
signal completion work will
also take place along the line between
Oak Grove and Tufts Medical
Center.
The MBTA will also maximize
the unencumbered access to the
Orange Line track area by accomplishing
many other piggybacking
projects. This work includes:
Upgrades will take place at the
operator platform at Wellington.
MassDOT bridge inspections
will be accomplished.
Plumbing and drainage improvements
will take place within
the Sullivan Square bathroom.
Contractor crews will work
throughout the service suspension
area to accomplish critical
maintenance as needed and deep
clean stations.
The MBTAâ€™s Systemwide Radio
project will complete installations
in the shutdown area.
Upgrades will take place within
the signal interlocking area
and along third rail heating infrastructure.
Alternate
Travel Options
Riders can find complete information
at MBTA.com/OrangeLine.
More information on these service
changes and alternate travel options
is below:
Free and accessible shuttle buses
will operate between Oak Grove
and North Station.
Express shuttle bus service will
serve Oak Grove, Malden Center,
Wellington, and North Station.
Riders using the shuttles buses
should budget ample extra travel
time. For example, a rider traveling
to Downtown Crossing from
Oak Grove should budget at least
an additional 70 minutes of travel
in additional to their regular
commute.
For service through the downtown
area near Back Bay, riders
are encouraged to utilize parallel
Green Line service between
North Station and Copley (which
is less than a quarter-mile or about
a four-minute walk from Back Bay).
The MBTA will increase Green Line
service during this time to accommodate
Orange Line riders.
There will be free fares with the
fare gates open at Back Bay and
Copley.
Riders are encouraged to consider
fare-free Commuter Rail
service between Oak Grove and
North Station.
All shuttle buses are accessible
to riders with disabilities. However,
some buses used during weekday
periods will be lift-equipped,
coach-style buses. All shuttle buses
operating on weekends will be
ramp-equipped, low-floor buses.
Accessible van service will also be
available at downtown Orange
Line stations between Back Bay
and North Station as well as Copley
on the Green Line for riders
who prefer it. Riders should see
station personnel or use a station
call box to request accessible van
service.
More information is also available
through in-station signage
and public announcements. Transit
Ambassadors and MBTA staff
will be available on-site to offer
information and assistance
during these service changes.
Riders are encouraged to subscribe
to T-Alerts or to follow the
MBTA on X @MBTA for up-to-date
service information.
Significance of MultiDay
Outages

Malden legislators and Mass. Legislature bring oversight to unregulated home care industry
R
ecently, State Representatives
Kate Lipper-Garabedian,
Paul Donato and Steven Ultrino
and State Senator Jason
Lewis joined their colleagues
in the Massachusetts Legislature
to approve legislation
that establishes a licensure
process for home care agencies
to ensure that consumers
receive quality nonmedical
services and that home
care workers are protected.
An Act to improve Massachusetts
home care creates a new
licensing and oversight process
for home care agencies
whose staff provide care such
as dressing, meal preparation,
bathing, companionship and
other tasks that help residents
safely age in place. The legislation
ensures the safety and security
of residents who rely on
home care workers, who often
provide significant support to
not only the individuals using
their services but to their families
as well. Governor Maura
Healey signed the act into
law as Chapter 180 of the Acts
of 2026.
â€œAs the former Vice Chair of
the Joint Committee on Aging
and Independence, Iâ€™m delighted
that the legislature this
session has built on the longterm
care law that I filed and
championed last session with
Chair Stanley, establishing enhanced
protections for nursing
home residents and workforce
and expanding healthcare
services in assisted living
residences. I also worked closely
on the home care licensing
law and am thrilled to support
its enactment to address
the full continuum of care for
older adults,â€� said Representative
Lipper-Garabedian. â€œOlder
adults want to age at home,
and demand is increasing as
our population ages. The legislation
will enhance consumer
protections for older adults
and their families by increasing
quality of care expectations
and heightening transparency.
The legislature further
acknowledges the dignity of
home care workers by codifying
important workplace protections.â€�
â€œThis
bill establishes new accountability
measures to help
elderly residents continue to
safely live in their homes,â€� said
Senator Lewis. â€œConsistent
standards through the licensure
system and new oversight
from the executive branch will
protect residents as well as
home care workers.â€�
â€œI am thrilled we were able to
pass this important legislation
for the Home Care Industry in
Massachusetts,â€� said Representative
Donato. â€œThis bill is necessary
to continue to work with
staff and employees in these
agencies to make sure they are
fairly compensated and appreciated.â€�
â€œBy
establishing clear standards
and accountability for
home care agencies, this legislation
helps ensure that residents
receive quality care while
protecting the workers who
provide these essential services,â€�
said Representative Ultrino.
â€œThese protections will give
families greater confidence
and help residents maintain
their independence at home.â€�
The bill tasks the Executive
Office of Health and Human
Services with implementing
the licensure process and
grants them the authority to
approve licenses, survey and
investigate home care agencies
and impose fines when appropriate.
Home care agencies
will now be required to disclose
anyone with at least a five percent
ownership interest in the
agency, carry workers compensation
and liability insurance
and provide appropriate levels
of training for their employees.
Highlights of the home care
licensure legislation:
â€¢ Establishing a licensure process
for home care workers, including
background checks,
driving records and annual
training and competency requirements
that cover confidentiality
rights, emergency
situations, documents changes
in care and more
â€¢ Developing oversight to
promote transparency and accountability
by requiring that
the executive branch establish
standards for consumer-specific
service contracts and quality
metrics for monitoring home
care agency performance; authorizing
them to investigate
home care agencies for compliance
and impose fines for
violations
â€¢ Ensuring workforce protections
by establishing clear procedures
to ensure home care
workers have safe working
conditions, adequate training
and a process for submitting
complaints; requiring licensed
home care agencies to provide
adequate equipment and supplies
and have coverage for
workerâ€™s compensation and liability
insurance
â€¢ Analyzing progress and
preparing for future modernization
by establishing special
commissions and advisory
councils to review and develop
new policies relating to home
care licensure, family caregiving
and the idea of a possible
state program that people
could pay into and from which
older and retired adults could
receive long-term services or
support

and welcoming environment.
Children flocked to the popular
foam party, inflatable bounce
houses, and water slides. Attendees
of all ages cooled off
with complimentary slush and
enjoyed food throughout the
day. Music provided by New
Englandâ€™s Best DJs and Photo
Booths kept the celebration lively
from start to finish.
The event was coordinated by
MOA Board Member Linda Cochran,
whose outstanding planning,
leadership and enthusiasm
were instrumental in its success.
She was supported by fellow
members of the MOA Board of
Directors and dozens of dedicated
volunteers who helped make
the day run seamlessly.
Mayor Gary Christenson welcomed
attendees and highlighted
the cityâ€™s significant progress
in reducing overdoses and overdose
fatalities in recent years. He
credited the collaborative efforts
of MOA, community partners,
first responders, healthcare providers,
volunteers and city leaders
for building a stronger network
of support for individuals
and families affected by substance
use disorder.
Community support was evident
throughout the day, with
City Councillors Ryan Oâ€™Malley,
Carey McDonald, Steve Winslow
and Jadeane Sica in attendance.
Councillor Sica also serves on the
MOA Board of Directors. State
Representatives Steven Ultrino
and Paul Donato, both longtime
supporters of MOAâ€™s mission,
also joined the celebration. Local
young people also played a key
role in the eventâ€™s success: Volunteers
from the Malden YWCA
Youth Program and the Malden
Teen Enrichment Center assisted
families, supported activities
and demonstrated the positive
impact of youth leadership
and community service. Staff
from The Bridge Recovery Center,
along with dozens of MOA
volunteers, worked throughout
the day to ensure every aspect of
the event ran smoothly.
â€œThis day represents everything
Malden Overcoming Addiction
stands for,â€� said MOA
President Paul Hammersley. â€œRecovery
is built through connection,
hope, and community. Seeing
hundreds of families, volunteers,
young people, elected officials,
and community organizations
come together reminds us
that when a community stands
united, we can make a real difference.
We are incredibly grateful
to everyone who attended, volunteered,
sponsored, and supported
todayâ€™s event.â€�
Throughout the afternoon,
dozens of community organizations
and local vendors connected
residents with valuable
information, services and resources,
reinforcing MOAâ€™s mission
to reduce stigma, increase
awareness and ensure individuals
and families know where to
turn for help before addiction
becomes a crisis.
MOA extends its sincere appreciation
to every volunteer,
sponsor, vendor, community
partner and attendee who
helped make Community Day
another outstanding success. Together,
they demonstrated that
a healthier, stronger community
is built through compassion,
collaboration, hope and connection.
MOA also extends a special
thank you to Bob and Debbie
McVicar, whose unwavering
generosity and willingness to
help at every opportunity continue
to make a lasting impact
on the organization and the
community it serves.

MOA, a nonprofit organization,

EXPAND THE â€œMOVE OVERâ€�
LAW (H 5622)
House 154-0, approved a bill
that would expand a current law
that requires motorists to slow
down and make every eff ort to
change lanes if they are approaching
a stationary emergency, maintenance
or recovery vehicle with
fl ashing lights on a highway. The
bill would expand the law to require
motorists to do the same
when approaching a stationary
utility truckâ€“defi ned as a vehicle
being used to install, maintain, repair,
operate or restore communications
service, electric or gas distribution
or transmission service
in an emergency.
The Senate has approved a different
version of the measure and
the House version now goes to the
Senate for consideration.
Rep. Jim Arciero (D-Westford),
House chair of the Committee
on Transportation, said the that
the bill is a sensible change to
an important law and updates
the â€œmove overâ€� law to extend its
protections to utility vehicles and
workers at the roadside. He noted
that the measure, which got overwhelming
support in the Transportation
Committee, also increases
penalties for repeat off enses
and requires an education component
for motorists who commit
multiple off enses. He said that the
Registry of Motor Vehicles would
be required to produce a public
service campaign on the move
over law.

also protects librarians and

Provisions include ensuring that
students have free and open access

school library materials by establishing
clear standards for library
teachers and other employees to
follow as they select school library
materials; requiring that school library

er or not they place the book on

charter schools and local education
agencies to adopt their
own policies on how to select library
materials as long as the policies
align with American Library
Association standards; guarding
against spurious or unfounded
challenges to school library books
by keeping a book in question on
the shelves unless and until a public
hearing has taken place and the
appropriate authority has voted to
remove it; and protecting school
employees and public librarians
from professional, civil or criminal
penalties based on their selection
of library materials.
â€œMassachusetts is home to the
first public library, public school
and university,â€� said Gov. Healey.
â€œWe have always believed that our
communities are stronger when
people, especially young people,
have access to knowledge and a
free exchange of ideas. This bill is
about protecting the freedom to
read, to learn, to ask difficult questions
and to encounter ideas we
might agree or disagree with. Itâ€™s
also about protecting our teachers
and librarians and allowing
them to do their jobs. At a time
when President Trump is defunding
education and trying to censor
any ideas he doesnâ€™t agree with,
it is more important than ever
that states step up to lead. Thatâ€™s
what weâ€™re doing here in Massachusetts."
â€œBooks
open doors for students
to explore new ideas, deepen their
understanding of the world and
develop the critical thinking skills
they need to succeed,â€� said Education
Secretary Steve Zrike. â€œOur
schools should encourage that curiosity
and give students access
to books that challenge them, inspire
them and help them grow as
learners. This law affirms that commitment
and supports the educators
and librarians who make
those opportunities possible every
day.â€�
"Politically motivated book challenges
are dangerous acts of censorship
that harm us all,â€� said Carol
Rose, Executive Director of the
ACLU of Massachusetts. â€œThis new
law builds a firewall against such
cynical acts, protecting students'
freedom to read and learn and respecting
the expertise of professional
educators and librarians. All
students should have access to a
diverse collection of materials, reflecting
a wide range of experiences,
identities and challenges.
This promotes free expression and
helps our society build tolerance,
empathy and understanding.â€�
Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver)
was the only legislator to vote
against the measure when it was
approved by the House and Senate.
â€œ[The bill] makes it more difficult
for school committees to
challenge book selections made
by librarians, especially regarding
LGBT+ type books that are usually
so explicit that they cannot be
read in public meetings or even
on YouTube without being age restricted,â€�
Gaskey said. â€œThis is not
about banning books as they are
all available in a multitude of locations,
especially the public library.
This is about protecting youth
from explicit material, regardless
of the topic.â€�
ABORTION (H 5595) â€“ Gov.
Healey signed into law legislation
that would loosen restrictions on
abortions that can be performed
after 24 weeks of gestation. The
bill removes existing requirements
that limit abortions at 24 weeks of
pregnancy or later to four specific
medical circumstances, and instead
allows licensed physicians
and providers to rely on their best
medical judgment when caring
for patients.
Supporters said that under current
law, the four specific categories
do not account for the full
spectrum of medical conditions
encountered by women and their
doctors: protecting the patient's
life or physical or mental health, or
cases involving a lethal fetal anomaly
or a grave fetal diagnosis.
â€œI've heard heartbreaking stories
from women and families
who were preparing to welcome
a healthy baby into their family,
only to receive devastating news
later in their pregnancy,â€� said Gov,
Healey. â€œInstead of being able to
rely on the doctors they knew and
trusted at home, they were forced
to travel hundreds of miles and
pay out of their pockets while navigating
unimaginable grief. That
should never happen in Massachusetts.
This law continues our
efforts to have the strongest abortion
protections in the country because
in Massachusetts, we believe
health care decisions should
be made between women and
their doctors.â€�

Asset Protection Planning With Trusts
O
ne of the concerns that parents
might have is devising
assets to their children only to
later find out that those hardearned
assets are later lost in a
divorce proceeding. One way
to deal with this possibility is to
leave these assets to your children
pursuant to the terms of
your trust.
A properly drafted trust is
more about providing children
flexibility and protection with
the hope of not creating unmanageable
limitations.
Most people look to establish
a trust that ends at some
particular point in time, typically
when a parent feels the child
will be mature enough to handle
money. In many cases, one
third of the trust estate is distributed
at age 25, another
third at age 30 and a final third
at age 35. Others prefer one
half at age 30 and the remaining
trust assets at age 35. Distributing
assets to children at
too young of an age often results
in the children making
bad financial decisions or being
taken advantage of by a
scam artist, which is happening
all of the time, especially to
the most vulnerable people,
such as financially inexperienced
young people and the
elderly.
Typically, upon the death of
both parents, a child who is old
enough and mature enough
will be named a successor
trustee to carry out the terms
of the trust. If the child has not
reached a certain age and a
certain level of maturity, the
parents will often appoint a
third-party trustee to administer
the terms of the trust and
to make distributions on behalf
of the child such as for health
expenses, educational expenses,
housing expenses, etc.
Parents are often concerned
that if assets are distributed directly
to children upon death,
any one of the children could
subsequently get divorced
only to see those inherited assets
become part of a divorce
proceeding. Leaving assets to
children via a trust does have
the benefit of â€œspendthriftâ€� provisions
designed to provide
better protection to the children
in the event of an ongoing
divorce proceeding or prior
to such a proceeding when
things arenâ€™t going so well in
the marriage.
Consequently, depending on
the particular family and all of
its dynamics, a family trust
could be drafted to last longer,
long after a child reaches the
age of say 35.
This is another reason why in
some situations, naming a
third-party trustee might be
better than naming a child as
trustee. If the child has discretion
to make distributions to
himself or herself upon the
death of both parents, then a
probate judge in a divorce proceeding
might order the child
to make such a distribution
representing that childâ€™s share
of the parentâ€™s estate, thereby
bringing those assets into the
divorce proceeding.
Trusts can often be classified
based upon their distribution
provisions as being either support
trusts or discretionary
trusts. Each state varies in its interpretation
of the trust terms.
Discretionary trusts will tend to
protect children in the event of
a future divorce and the potential
alimony and child support
issues inherent in such a proceeding.
A support trust may
very well cause a problem for a
child because the court may
require the trustee to make a
distribution from the trust in
order to satisfy what the court
believes to be a â€œsupportâ€� obligation
of the child, whether it
be in the form of alimony or
child support.
Consequently, a pure â€œdiscretionaryâ€�
trust would seem to offer
the most protection in
these situations with a
third-party trustee serving as
opposed to a child (particularly
the child that would most
likely be the one to be involved
in such a proceeding based
upon facts and circumstances
known to the parents at the
time of the trust creation). A
traditional â€œsupportâ€� trust
might not always be the way
to go, as including language in
such a trust that states that the
childâ€™s â€œstandard of livingâ€� is to
be maintained, might somehow
lead a court to interpret
that language as equating to
an obligation on the part of a
trustee to make a distribution
to a child in order to satisfy an
alimony or child support obligation.
This is in contrast to
simply providing income or
principal to the child in order
that the child have sufficient
assets in order to be able to pay
for his or her own food, shelter,
medical expenses, etc.
In our litigious society, we all
have to be very concerned
with lawsuits originating from
any source and the more protection
contained in a trust the
better, even at the expense of
limiting childrenâ€™s access to the
trust assets for which the parents
funded into trust for their
benefit.
In any event, it is important
to make informed decisions.
Whatâ€™s right for one family is
not necessarily right for another
family. Different circumstances,
beliefs and priorities
will result in different choices
for each family. In the end,
there are never any guarantees.

tive care and abortion access nationwide,
Massachusetts must
continue closing gaps in care so
that women have full autonomy
over the care they need, when
and where they need it,â€� said Sen.
Robyn Kennedy (D-Worcester),
Senate sponsor of the bill. â€œThe
Prioritizing Patient Access to Care
Act ensures Massachusetts patients
do not have to leave the
commonwealth to get the care
they need, and empowers physicians
to support their patients
throughout their pregnancies.
Thank you to all the advocates
who have brought this bill to fruition,
especially the women who
have shared their experiences.â€�
"Throughout relentless attacks
on reproductive rights, Massachusetts
has prioritized the fundamental
rights and health care
of its residents," said Rep. Christine
Barber (D-Somerville), House
sponsor of the bill. "This law ensures
access to care by empowering
physicians to use their professional
judgment to make decisions
in the best interest of their
patients. Pregnancy is complex,
and I am grateful the House advanced
this bill to eliminate barriers
and guarantee medical expertise
as the standard of care.
It comes down to a simple, but
powerful conviction: decisions
about abortion care must remain
between a patient and their
provider. No one else. Today, we
show our commitment to protecting
the rights of our residents
of the commonwealth."
Opponents said the legislation
allows elective abortions up
to birth based solely on a physicianâ€™s
professional judgment.
They said it eliminates the current
requirement that complex lateterm
abortions be performed
in a hospital setting, thus allowing
abortions on healthy mothers
and healthy infants at a stage
when unborn children can feel
pain and may be able to survive
outside the womb.
Myrna Maloney Flynn, president
of Massachusetts Citizens
for Life said, â€œLegalizing elective
abortion up to birth on healthy
moms and healthy, pain-capable
infants is not about a doctor-patient
relationship but rather
abortionists normalizing infant
death and pressuring vulnerable
women to permit their
unborn children to die in heinous
acts of violence, which are

Flynn continued, â€œThe fight for

FIREFIGHTERS (S 3251) â€“ The
Senate approved legislation that
would establish serious criminal
penalties for fire code and building
code violations that cause the
injury or death of a firefighter, construction
worker or any member
of the public. The measure was
first proposed after the March
2014 deaths of firefighters Edward
Walsh and Michael Kennedy who
perished while fighting a fire that
was caused by welders, working
without a city permit, on a building
next door to the brownstone
in which they died.
Provisions include a sentence
of up to ten years in state prison
and a fine of up to $500,000 if a
person commits certain violations
of the state fire code or building
code that cause a death; up to five
years in prison and a fine of up to
$250,000 if the violation causes serious
bodily injury; enhancement
of the penalty for violations of the
state fire prevention law related to
hot work, increasing the fine for

a first offense to $1,000 from the
current $100 fine. Third and subsequent
offenses for hot work violations
could be penalized with
up to 2.5 years in a house of correction
and a share of the building
projectâ€™s total value.
Other provisions require the Department
of Fire Services to administer
an accessible electronic
database that can be used to
check a workerâ€™s status; and require
the establishment of a system
of public notification and recording
of non-compliance with
regulations.
The measure also codifies standards
for the training and certification
programs used to prepare
people for hot work, cutting and
welding processes. It requires initial
training to be in person, with
subsequent annual continued-education
programming to be either
online or in person.
â€œThis legislation is an important
step toward setting clear standards
for this dangerous work,
strengthening accountability and
creating stronger incentives to
put safety first,â€� said Sen. Nick Collins
(D-South Boston). â€œWe learned
from past tragedies, and we have
a responsibility to carry those
lessons forward to better protect
workers, firefighters and the
neighborhoods where this work
is taking place.â€�
â€œThis is about justice,â€� said Sen.
Will Brownsberger (D-Belmont).
â€œCarelessness can kill people. Everyone
needs to know that there
will be consequences when safety
rules are recklessly ignored.â€�
â€œLt. Walsh and Firefighter Kennedyâ€™s
lives were tragically cut short
because someone chose to cut a

and sent to the Senate a
bill that would designate the Jurassic
Armored Mud Ball (JAMB)
as the official sedimentary structure
of the state.
Supporters said that these mud
balls are one of the rarest sedimentary
structures in the world, representing
a unique geologic environment
and are only easily seen
in Massachusetts. They noted that
they can be found in Greenfield,
Turners Falls, Gill and Deerfield.
They noted that famous Greenfield
native and magician, Penn Jillette
of Penn and Teller once said,
"I may live in Las Vegas and travel
the world, but my armored mud
balls will always be in Greenfield.

armored mud balls formed as mud

armor,â€� said Little. â€œThese sedimentary
structures are so rare that, in
the whole world, they are only
easily seen in the red sedimentary
rocks of the Connecticut River
Valley of Massachusetts. Officially
celebrating them as one of Massachusettsâ€™
symbols, will preserve
them for future generations. After
all, they are in the same Jurassic
rock layers as our State Dinosaur

(Dino Footprints). That is why I am

and citizens to preserve these
rare features.â€�

by the House,â€� said Sen. Pavel Payano
(D-Lawrence). â€œThis bill would
permanently codify the ability for
local licensing authorities to issue
and regulate temporary licenses
for charitable organizations to
serve alcohol at their events. We
look forward to working with our
House colleagues to finalize the
legislation."
â€œToday, more than ever, nonprofits
are in need of charitable donations
to stay afloat,â€� said sponsor
Rep. Joan Meschino (D-Hull) when
a different version of the measure
was approved by the House in
April. â€œThis bill would allow for safe
and regulated alcohol licensure for
nonprofits in order to raise revenue
at charity events by partnering
with alcohol manufacturers,
wholesalers or retailers.â€�
ALLOW CREDIT UNIONS TO
PAY THEIR BOARD MEMBERS
(H 1338) â€“ The Senate approved
a House-approved bill that would
allow credit unions to compensate
their board members for their
service. Under current law, board
members may only be reimbursed
Page 21
for expenses incurred in the performance
of their duties.
â€œI was proud to sponsor this
legislation which would modernize
current law by allowing credit
unions to compensate their board
members for their service,â€� said
Sen. Pavel Payano (D-Lawrence).
â€œThis bill would permit compensation
to be set and approved by the
membership at an annual meeting,
giving credit unions the flexibility
to determine appropriate
levels of compensation as needed
â€¦ Credit unions play a vital
role in supporting our communities,
and this update will help them
attract and retain strong leadership,
strengthen their institutions,
and enhance their ability to serve
their members.â€�

bers. They note that their jobs
also involve committee work, research,
constituent work and other
matters that are important to
their districts.
Critics say that the Legislature
does not meet regularly or long
enough to debate and vote in
public view on the thousands
of pieces of legislation that have
been filed. They note that the infrequency
and brief length of sessions
are misguided and lead to
irresponsible late-night sessions
and a mad rush to act on dozens
of bills in the days immediately
preceding the end of an annual
session,
During the week of August 1014,
the House met for a total of
17 minutes and the Senate met
for a total of one hour and three
